And a buddy told me 150-200 new hires next year. Does this bid mean way less or is it something less?

There were about 120-130 in the pool before this latest hiring spree began. There have been 2 classes so far, with 2 more scheduled (10/17 and 11/7). These classes will eat up at least 30-40 people from the pool.
The rumors I hear are anywhere from 135-250+, so it is hard to tell. This bid only covers training completed by May 1, so we wont know the staffing situation beyond May until the next System Bid comes out in January.
My personal guess is that hiring will stop during the summer, and re-start with new interviews and classes in the fall (Sept/Oct 2013 timeframe)

This forum is for poolie info only. People should already know what they are getting into by coming to work here. Let's not clutter this up with the same message (that we have all been complaining about) and keep it on topic. Go to one of the other JetBlue posts and vent there. The poolies can and should read there as well.

I'd say 190 will be the quicker way to a line. This bid moved me up 20+ numbers due to a few upgrades, base moves, and guys going to the 320.

Thanks Flyby1206 and usmc-sgt. Any idea on the final class size, plane/base breakdown for 17 Oct, or will that not be known until day 1 of class?

Interesting. Anyone with a number in the pool who has been bypassed? A month or two ago they moved some guys to the front of the line who were in the University Gateway/Cape Air program. The blue darts would be another separate gateway as opposed to the street hiring, so maybe they are getting preferential class dates as well.
Congrats on the class date, welcome aboard!
